Alright, first off, I am a newbe when it comes to classic muscle. I am a mechanic but I work on european cars for a living. So, my question is this, I have a 1964 c10 with the stock 230 and three-on-tree. I want to put in a v8 and want to do it as cheap as possible. I was looking at 283's and 327's but they tend to be more than the good old 350. What would I be looiking at other than the engine to do the swap? custom drive shaft? cross members? motor mounts? I havent decided on the trans yet so some imput would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your guys help. PS. if this has been covered before just post a link so I can read
